49 Best American Restaurants near Highlands

“We love this restaurant. It’s been a Highlands staple for longer than I’ve been around. Portion sizes are awesome Carla and her crew are wonderful. Dad eats there quite often and don’t sleep on the fish special. The fish nuggets are amazing and the perfect way to enjoy this type of fish. :)“

“Working in the area and have stopped here twice. Both times I've gotten the 3 Meat Plate and both times the food was outstanding as well as the service. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone that enjoys great BBQ. I'll be stopping back in before work as often as possible.“

“food is great“

“Simply the best!!! Best service!“

“I highly recommend this Café. I ordered to go as I’m leaving state after breakfast, but the girl that helped me carry my drinks out was super sweet. Not being from Texas I was curious about everything on the land and she was very informative (I should’ve gotten her name). I ordered the Sycamore 2s which was 2 pancakes (choice of 1/2 waffle or 2 slices French toast), 2 eggs, and 2 pieces of bacon (choice of sausage also). I got my son an order of French toast, and a friend the brunch burger. Everything was AMAZING. The server mentioned Mondays they have a mimosa special (she told me exactly but I forget it). I like over medium eggs and this is the first place I’ve been that’s gotten my eggs PERFECT the first time around. It’s an adorable little café and there’s a wedding venue in the back. I highly recommend trying their food if you haven’t before. I took photos but it won’t let me add them to my review.“

“Hunter was an amazing server! He was very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and came out fresh and very quickly. The restaurant was very clean. I highly recommend Hungry Jack's and it was definitely worth the 30 minute frive!“

“Holy moly — everyone has been talking about this place and we love it! The burger is massive, CRINKLE CUT FRIES (the best!!), and a Pay It Forward Wall. ♥️ THIS is true Christianity…feeding people without question, just because they’re hungry. Teresa is a gem and it’s worth the drive down by the bridge. Absolutely delicious and the burger is MASSIVE. $43 for two burger & fries meals, two bottled drinks, and an extra cheeseburger/fries to Pay It Forward for someone who needs it. THIS is what community is about! Go get you a burger! Yummmm.“

“Best food and service and the tarter sauce is the greatest. Will go back every chance we get.“

“Great place Highly recommend“

“Black Bear is a great place. We go weekly and always ask for Debbie Garza. we know we will get what we order and it will be great.“

“Food is decent. Server didn't have the best attitude. Overall I'm satisfied but I'm not coming back. When customers ask for additional info on food items, don't act like we're bothering you. Act as though it is your pleasure to give that information to us. Good luck. And this is basically a Mexican themed establishment. Not sure why the tag says American restaurant“

“My hubby took me today to Brisket House on center st. and let me tell you it was very very good 😊 delicious 😋. We got the brisket sandwich with fries. The workers were great. We got plenty of food. For a minute I thought my husband was going to have to roll me out. 😂🤣 I also brought me home banana pudding. 💙♥️🤗 Definitely recommend.“

“Had one of best breakfast and meatloaf my favorite“

“Love coming here with my 2 year old who knows her regular spot and just run straight to the booth as we walk in. One of the waitresses even remembers our order by heart.

Their french toast and chocolate milkshakes are just heavenly“

“Ken’s is the best place to go to for good comfort food. The meatloaf is my favorite!! ♥️“

“We recently did take out and were so pleased with the food and the quality!! My new favorite burger spot in town. Only thing is we had been wanting to try this for a while but every time we tried to order they were closed even though it said they were open.. So they don’t seem to update there times. The lady that greeted me inside was super nice so great customer service. Definitely give them a shot if you are wanting a good burger.“

“I have driven by for months and always wanted to go. We stopped by today and LOVED it. Super clean and c cute place. 5 stars“

“I am not sure which one this is because I visited 2 last week Baytown off Hwy 10 E and Alameda Genoba off Hwy 45 S. Their waitress on this day greeted me with a warm Good Morning and that made my Morning. My Breakfast was cooked with love and the price was reasonable.“

“Awesome place to kick back“

“Shawnee and Mirabel are two of the best servers they have. They both help each other with orders to ensure your food is always to you correctly and piping hot. They are fives in my book. I've been ordering pumpkin loaded pancakes for 3 months. No matter which one makes them they are always awesome.“

“Mykala was my server and was very attentive. Although I didn’t enjoy the food, the drinks and the atmosphere were great.“

“Great bar and grill Love this place“

“Everyone here is super welcoming I feel at home“

“My waiter Gary was amazing. He went above and beyond for us. We really appreciate it he made our night“

“Crawfish was the best we’ve had! Great service! Five stars!“

“We held my husband’s birthday here at TO 3 last weekend and the staff was so accommodating for a large group of 20. Our waitress Kathy was so sweet and so tentative. Our whole group had a really good time and enjoyed the food. They also had clear walls up and heaters around the patio so you could still enjoy the outside views. 10/10 👌“

“todo delicioso..y buen servicio“

“Good Service and delicious food 👌“

“Cute spot. Ordered a tuna sandwich with side of pasta salad and it was very good. The lady taking my order was very helpful and friendly. I got an iced latte to go and it was good as well! Not too sweet!“

“Five stars for Applebees for never letting us down with their quality and quantity of food, drinks, appetizers, and desserts! My husband and I had sweet teas (could tell it was fresh), ribs (plenty of sauce & meat), salmon (perfectly cooked), salads (house ranch is always tasty), and also Buffalo wings (a great appetizer choice!). The atmosphere is always nice: Clean tables and bathrooms, jazzy but not too loud music playing, and the store set up/decor is warm and inviting. However, I do have to add about our subpar customer service. When we walked in, we weren't greeted. The hostess was arranging menus, never looked at us, and blandly said, "Two? Booth or table? Bar or dining room?". She did not acknowledge our answers verbally or physically and did not tell us to follow her; she just walked to our table. Once seated, she told us our waitress' name and left. It's never comfortable to be able to tell that someone's having an off day, and we are hindrances. I honestly don't know about our waitress. She wasn't smiling and friendly, but she wasn't rude. It was 5 minutes before the half off special, so we appreciated that she put in the discount for the wings. Only our teas were brought from the waitress, while the other items were served from a waiter. She did check on us for refills but forgot our wings. The delicious and on time food still outweighs the personable hiccups. Thank you to the chef and cooks! 5 stars with a little hint towards management to pep up the lunch staff.

“Love the rejuvenated Luby’s! The classic rock / 80’s music was fantastic and so much better than before. Some newer food items were much appreciated as well, like the smothered pork chops. Way better than Cracker Barrel’s version. The place is much brighter and I was told they are making more updates. Also, the people behind the food counter were courteous and just happy. Very different from the drab place it used to be before.“

“Born and raised in Baytown and only return for 2 reasons: C&D's and Someburger. Recently Someburger updated and I was worried that they lost their charm. NOPE! Not only are the burgers just as good, but they've gotten better! As well, they've added a lot of options, but not so many that it lost its simplicity. The customer service is phenomenal. I believe that a lot of the kids that work there are culinary student and it shows. I can't remember the name of the lady who was managing but HOLY CRAP is she absolutely charming and her personality alone made the experience more enjoyable. Pay no attention to the idiot Karen's and Lonnie's that leave the occasional bad review. Miserable people are never happy. 10/10 recommend.“

“All around fantastic experience. I was very surprised. This was the first time I've ever eaten at a restaurant associated with a golf course. I am not a golfer. The food was top-notch, and the service was fast and friendly. My diet Pepsi glass was always full. A business associate brought me here. I would have never found the place on my own. The dining room was clean, wide open with plenty of space, and provided a beautiful view of a golf course.“

“They sure can clear a room! Those girls are quick quick quick!!! Great team work. No having 2 wait for things. Oh yes went in the morning time. You know....the going 2 school and work rush. I go there pretty regular now.My grandsons turned me on to them. As a matter of fact it was his idea for breakfast! Haven't been disappointed yet. And get a card have it stamped every time u go & get free after so many visits.Enjoy.Later.....“

“Second time at this location that I was not impressed by the service. My dad loves Longhorn Steaks so for his 73rd birthday this is where we went. The server was very friendly however when he delivered our steaks he delivered the bill at the same time then never returned again to check on us until we were done. I told the hostess and our server that we were celebrating my dad's birthday. As the server, wouldn't you assume on a birthday that we'd also want dessert? It wasn't even mentioned.
Even if it wasn't his birthday it is incredibly rude to deliver the bill at the same time as the main course and never check on us again. I think we'll be crossing this Longhorn off our list of places to go.“

“Please put what time the kitchen closes“

“We stopped by there for lunch after a doctors appointment. The ribeye was good, but in hindsight, I probably should’ve ordered the country fried chicken. My wife said it was really good. The staff was very friendly and the service was excellent“

“great food and service !“

“Me and my SO stopped here coming from Kemah headed back to Beaumont. The food was fresh and hot. The burgers are huge and seasoned perfectly. Chicken strips should be called chicken patties, lol. they were huge. The owner was nice and accommodating. Highly recommend. I visited the one on Hwy 146.“
